The Hudson Valley city that makes gifting a cinch
There are many benefits to living in Beacon, NY—one being that you rarely need to leave Main Street to find the perfect gift. So, if you’re planning to celebrate the special man in your life this Father’s Day, you can pretty much find what you’re looking for locally, whether he’s fussy about his artisanal coffee, cocktails, or cuffs.
Here’s some highlights to get you started.
For Dads Who (Really) Like Their Food
Carters Restaurant & Lounge (424 Main Street) has a treat for those with big appetites. They’re offering an epic “Father’s Day BBQ All You Can Eat” for $60 per head. The menu features steak, burgers, hot dogs, sausage and peppers, clams, corn on the cob, mussels, and then some. There’ll be live music from 12 PM to 3 PM. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Plus, soccer dads can watch the Spain vs Saudi Arabia game at 12 PM.

A Soccer Dad’s Paradise
Speaking of soccer, if Dad is a fan and you’re on a budget, why not gift him this feature? It includes valuable information on every location in Beacon that’s hosting World Cup Watch Parties right up until the final game on July 19th. It’s the gift that keeps giving.
Pick Up His Favorite Tipple
Dennings Point Distillery (10 North Chestnut Street) is the place for dads who enjoy a handcrafted, high-quality bourbon, vodka, or gin. These locally distilled, award-winning libations deserve a spot on Dad’s bar cart.
And now’s your chance to look even more generous than you already are. The Dennings Point team is currently offering a Father’s Day Special on gift cards. Buy a $100 gift card and get 25% off. The cards can even be redeemed on the day of purchase.
You’ll find every brewery, distillery, and bar to pick up a gift card or bottle from here and wine stores here.
Opt For A Gift Card
You can never go wrong with a gift card, and there’s no shortage of choice since most businesses on Main Street offer them. Maybe pick up a gift card from The Chisel (155 Main Street) for dads who prefer a more nuanced haircut. Owner Richard Corio learned his craft from some of the biggest names in hair, and he had a stint at the original Tommy Gun’s barbershop in Williamsburg. So, he knows a thing or two about men’s styling.
Meanwhile, a gift card from Mirbeau Beacon will snag Dad everything from skincare products from the Mirbeau for Men line to dinner in their beautiful new bistro and bar.

For The Fashion-Forward Father
Not only does The Last Outpost (314 Main Street) have all manner of stylish Beacon themed t-shirts, trucker hats, belts, and other male-friendly accessories, they also have some stunning jewelry pieces. If your dad has a fashion edge, perhaps gift him an Asgard Forged Cuff made with antiqued white brass and handcrafted by store co-owner, Allison. It’ll be a keepsake that will always remind him of you.
For The Sweet-Toothed Pop
Visit Alps Chocolate (269 Main Street) or Håkan Chocolatier (462 Main Street)—two perfect destinations for those who find happiness in layers of rich, high quality cocoa bonbons. Or head to The Chocolate Studio (496 Main Street) for Oreos dipped in milk or dark chocolate if the old man is an Oreo fanatic.
